New Zealand, at current times, is one of
the top destinations and goals for many potential immigrants. These individuals
are looking for a new country that would become their new home and many have
chosen and eyed New Zealand as the dream country to be in. However, wishing to
become an immigrant in New Zealand is not just about one’s passion to be there.
It is also about making sure that all the requirements set by the government of
the country for immigrants should be achieved and submitted. This would then
allow the government to send out visas to those who have passed the
requirements.

There are a lot of these potential
immigrants who are also looking for a country where they can get further
education. New Zealand is also a top destination and goal for those individuals
who want to get further studies as the country is home to a number of
world-class colleges and universities. This is one of the reasons why there are
a lot of international students doing their very best to make sure that they
are able to get to the country.

Chinese
international students in New Zealand

According to data from the New Zealand
government, Chinese international students have the most number of visas
granted among all other international students from around the globe. These
individuals have been granted such and so one can definitely see many Chinese
international students there. As per the data last year, more than half of the
international students who were given visas were from China. These individuals
who were given such visas are allowed in the country and can pursue higher
education there.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and
Employment (also known as the MBIE) is the department of the New Zealand
government that deals with public service. The data from this arm of the
government has shown that there were almost 50,000 individuals who were given
visas as immigrant students for the year 2017. Out of that number, there were
28,588 visas given to immigrant students from China. That is more than half of
the total. The group had an average age of 21 years old.

All
those international students

The MBIE had continued to disclose that
around 2/3 of those international students who are in New Zealand are not only
studying but are also working. These individuals were going for education in
the country and had a lower level than a bachelor’s degree.

Iain Lees-Galloway works as the minister
for immigration and he has stated that the country is also working on making
sure that the education that they are giving would actually be of quality. This
is definitely good news for all of those international students in the country
and for those who are interested in pursuing education in NZ.

The United Kingdom is one of the top places
in the world where immigrants are flocking to. However, many are still asking
just what is in the United Kingdom that brings a lot of immigrants there. And
there are also questions about what people should expect if they wish to live
in the UK. Well, here are some of the things that are attracting people to this
country in Europe.

Weird
and eccentric is not scoffed at.

There are places where people who are weird
and eccentric are being scoffed at. This is not the case for Britain. See,
weirdness and eccentricity are welcomed here. In fact, people do not really bat
their eyes at the weird people. So for potential immigrants who may think that
they are weird and may not fit in, there is no need to worry as the UK is open
to such.

The thing about weirdness and eccentricity
in the UK is that the UK itself has cultures and traditions that may seem weird
to other people from around the globe. There is the Christmas Day Serpentine
swim where participants go dive in the cold waters on Christmas morning.
Imagine the chill but there are a lot of participants each year.

And then there’s also the Goat Race which
is done yearly. For this event, two of the country’s top universities go on a
competition with goats. The universities are Oxford and Cambridge. So just
imagine the competition using goats and those that are competing are
universities that are world-renowned. Weird.

There
are cities and there are villages.

For those individuals who are not so keen
on being in the city, the country is home to really nice villages that they can
live in. And for those who are looking to live in a big and busy city, there is
London. These are options available for immigrants in the UK and it helps them
find the type of life that they would like to live. If one is tired of the
city, they can easily go to the countryside and have a good time basking in
what the countryside has to offer.

Shopping,
shopping, shopping.

Shopping can be therapeutic for a lot of
people and immigrants who are into shopping really love the United Kingdom. It
is a place where shopping is seemingly available everywhere. There are a lot of
shops to choose from and the options are seemingly limitless. It is said that
one cannot go through all the good stuff that are offered in the shopping
centers and malls in the United Kingdom in just one day. One can find clothes,
books, appliances, jewelry, and a whole lot more in the country. It is home to
really good brands and so immigrants can find really good deals there.

A variety of reasons come with immigrants
as per why they have chosen to leave their home country and become an immigrant
in a new one. There are those who are looking for a more peaceful place to live
in as theirs has been torn apart by war. There are those who want to be an
immigrant because there are some personal issues that they would want to leave
behind. And then there are also those who are seeking for a country that has a
strong economy so they can have a better financial status.

For those immigrants who are looking for
better paying jobs, going to Canada just may be the answer that they are
looking for. According to a new study, immigrants who have just entered the
country and come highly skilled are actually able to earn more as compared to
the average salary of a citizen of Canada. This goes to reflect that many of
these individuals are actually able to get good paying jobs and are able to
work on their financial status.

The
report that was done

This report was done internally and it was
backed by the government of the country. The report has shown that immigrants
who come with high skills and are quite hard working are able to earn just
about the same as the average citizen or may be able to earn more than that
average. This is based on people’s annual income in the country. This is
especially true for those immigrants who have just arrived in the country and
have started working the soonest time possible upon being an immigrant.

With the help of a request via the Access
to Information, it was the Canadian Press who was able to have their hands on
the report for the first time outside the government of the country. The report
does not only focus on the average income of immigrants versus the average
citizen but it also looks into the possible results for all of those immigrants
who have come to Canada as a whole. The study looked into the economic status,
as well as their social status and this data was based on the different
immigration types that the country is allowing immigrants in.

The results
of the study

By working and analyzing the data that they
were able to accumulate, immigrants who have come from all the various programs
to get to Canada were actually doing better in terms of personal economy
especially through time. It also reflected that those with high skills were
able to get started faster than most and get really good jobs, thanks to their
skills and experience. This allows them to earn more than the average. They
also tend to get good positions as managers.

Many individuals have been working really
hard to make sure that they are able to fulfill all the requirements that New Zealand is asking for for one to become an immigrant there. This has been
keeping the government of the country quite busy as they have been receiving
quite a huge number of applications per day.

For those who are unaware of what New Zealand has to offer, they keep on asking just what is the country offering
that is making a lot of people really want to be there as immigrants and work
their way to becoming permanent residents? What is this big thing about New
Zealand that everyone seems to want to have a piece of it? Well, here are some
reasons why people have been working their very best to make it there.

There
are a lot of activities to do in the country.

The country has a lot of activities for
people to try out each and every day. Finding one that suits them best can be
quite difficult as there are a lot of options. Most of the activities are
outdoors and people who really like spending time outside their homes are
having a lot of fun in the country. Immigrants can explore their options and
get quite a huge list of things to do.

Some of the things to try in the country
include, boat rides, skiing, hiking, biking, rafting on rivers, bungee jumping,
pampering oneself in spas, trying out the local cuisine, wine tasting, sunning
in the beaches, checking out art studios, finding beautiful outdoor cafes,
watching cultural shows, immersing oneself in hot pools, attending concerts,
kayaking, visiting mud pools, and just plain enjoying the wondrous outdoors of
New Zealand.

English
is the main language.

Many people find it hard to move to a
country where the language is something that they are not familiar with. This
is not the case for New Zealand as English is the primary language spoken. All
around the world, there are only a few countries who are not familiar with
English. In fact, it is said that a huge portion of the world speaks and
understands English. And with that, speaking the language in New Zealand is not
going to be quite hard as English is the main language used for conversation.
This would definitely not be a barrier for a lot of people from around the
world.

Stress
is going to be the least of one’s worries.

Stress can definitely get to a person. But
this is not the case for those who are living in New Zealand. The country is
famous for its work-life balance and that allows people to unwind and have fun.
Work is work but there should always be a balance with living one’s life. Many
people find the country to be laid-back and definitely not as stressful as
other countries around the world.

What makes the United Kingdom quite a big
hit among potential immigrants? Immigration in the country has always been busy
as there is a huge number of applicants each and every day. The UK government
has to process these applications and see which ones can get to the country as
they have submitted all the requirements. The big question now is what makes
the country quite interesting for these potential immigrants? Here are some
reasons:

There
is something about Christmas in the UK.

For those who have not yet watched the film
“Love Actually”, this should be high time to do so. This movie is set in the UK
and it is set during Christmas time. There is definitely something about
Christmas in the UK and immigrants should be more than excited to experience
this season here. In some countries, Christmas only starts in December.
However, in the UK, Christmas is such a big holiday there that from the middle
of October, one would be able to see a variety of decorations and events that
are focused on Christmas.

Immigrants in the country also get to
experience looking at really wonderful window displays that are about
Christmas. They can try and have fun at ice skating rinks and wander through
the streets looking at Christmas decorations. There are plenty of
Christmas-themed activities to try and do in the country and immigrants will
definitely not feel sad during this season.

Movies
have been shot here.

Plenty of movies have been shot in the
United Kingdom and people may not necessarily remember what movies these were.
However, once they are in the UK, they often get the feeling of being in a
place that is quite familiar to them even though this is just their first time
there. This is basically because the places have been used as a background in
many movies.

So what movies have been shot in the
country? The list includes Notting Hill, Love Actually, Bridget Jones’ Diary,
Mary Poppins, A Clockwork Orange, The Omen, Assassin’s Creed, Bend It Like
Beckham, The Da Vinci Code, The Dark Knight Rises, and The Fifth Element.

The
UK can be weird.

How weird? Well, there are definitely laws
that could make people raise an eyebrow (or guffaw with laughter). Weird laws
that are still working in the country include dying in the Houses of Parliament
as an illegal act. It is also illegal to publicly fly a kite, as well as the
Salmon Act 1986 which warrants a more in-depth research for the reader. Of
course, these are just a few of them. But it is highly important to keep in mind
that ignorance of the law excuses no one.

For Samrat Saha, his big dream was to
actually be approved as a resident of Canada. This was his dream for him and
for his family. They are in Canada as immigrants and have been working hard to
be able to be granted permanent residency status. Getting such a status seemed
like something that they would only dream about as they have tried to apply for
such but were given a denial. This was primarily because Saha’s son has autism
and the rules really were not in favor of such. However, thanks to the changes
done recently to Canada’s immigration policies, they have now been given the hope
and are in big beliefs that they can now achieve the status that they have been
working hard for.

The big changes to the immigration policy
of the country have been made just recently and this was shared to the public
through an announcement by Ahmed Hussen. Hussen works as the minister for
Immigration of the country. The changes are definitely huge and it now allows
individuals who have disabilities along with members of their families to be
able to become immigrants in the country. This is definitely the type of news
that Saha has been waiting for for so long.

Some
people are worried. While some are not.

For some people, the changes are definitely
something that they are worried about. For them, they have reservations on the
kind of consequences that could happen once the changes are in place. Some have
also expressed that the changes just may not be able to properly cover equality
for all individuals with disabilities and may seem unfair for others.

On the other hand, there are individuals
who are really happy for the changes that could be happening to the immigration
policies. These people, like Saha, believe that Canada is now working towards
rules that are fair to everybody. The country seems like it is already taking a
stand and has principles when it comes to making sure that everybody’s rights
are given the proper respect. It is also quite essential that the country is
able to see that individuals with disabilities should not be held from being
immigrants or from being permanent residents of the country especially if they
have passed all the requirements and it is only the disability that is
hindering them from achieving their aim.

Without
the changes to the immigration policy.

Without the changes, the current policy
says that the Canada government will not approve residency to an individual and
his entire family if this individual has a medical condition or is disabled.
This is primarily because this means that the country has to spend on the
individual through its health system and social service system. The change will
take this out of the equation and will mean giving a chance to individuals with
disabilities.

For quite some time, the immigration levels
in New Zealand have remained high. In fact, there was a period last year when
the numbers each month seemed to break record after record after record. It was
just a simple reflection of just how popular the country was to immigrants and
how hard people have been working hard to be able to become immigrants in this
country.

In recent news, it seems like experts have
been looking at the immigration situation in New Zealand and they have found
out that the numbers for immigration are likely to go down sometime in the
future. This has been included in the report that has been created by the
Minister of Business, Innovation and Employment (which is also known as the
MBIE). The report has stated that the average migration numbers for the country
will most likely go down to just around 65,000 individuals by June of 2019.
This hypothesis has come from studying and uses the current policies and
situations that immigration in the country is using. The average number of 65,000
is definitely lower from that of last year’s June number which came up to 72,
300.

The
story found in the report

The report that was put together by the
MBIE is known as the Migration Trends report and this one is made for the
period 2016 to 2017. The newest one is the 17th one as part of a series of
reports that are being produced yearly. Its focus actually is looking in-depth
into any trends that come with temporary immigration as well as permanent
immigration in the country. The data comes from official numbers from the
government and these numbers are collected, studied, and analyzed to be able to
find the story beneath.

As per the report, the latest period
studied had shown that there was a decrease in the number of people who were
given approval for residency in the country and the decrease amounted to 8%.
The year before that, the country was able to get an increase of 21%. The
difference is definitely huge and should say something about the trends that
are happening in the country.

Some
of the numbers

For the period studied, the report was able
to find out that there was an increase in terms of the number of temporary
workers that are in New Zealand. There were 152,432 of these temporary workers
during the period studied and this number is a 16% increase as compared to the
number of the year before that. This shows that many are venturing to the
country despite just being a temporary worker there. Of course, it may also
reflect the government’s policies on immigration and the need for workers.

According to experts who have been looking
at the possible situation that the United Kingdom may be facing once the plan
to exit the European Union happens, it is very possible that the work growth in
the country would be greatly affected. This would be in terms of the lower
growth in the number of jobs as well as a lower growth in terms of output from
those who are doing the work. This would be very much likely be the situation
once the United Kingdom pushes through with its plans of putting a restriction on
the current free movement of immigrants from European Union member nations.

The migration advisers of the government
who have been looking at what the future could bring if the plans push through
is that the UK economy would also very much suffer because of the lowered
growth in the number of jobs that the country would be experiencing. The
lessened output in terms of work would also be a key ingredient in a weaker
economy of the country. It is highly important that the government looks into
these so that any plans can be made to make sure that these do not really
happen.

What
the experts say

Experts who have been focusing on the labor
market have also looked at the data and created projections on what could
possibly happen after the exit happens. Not having free movement from EU would
bring about a lesser growth in terms of population in some parts of the country
where these immigrants have chosen to reside in. At present, the country is in
need of immigrants as their population is basically on the aging part. New
blood could definitely boost the age average of its population.

Economists have also been saying that
employers should be doing something about the possible things that could
happen. Employers are suggested to work on having better wages so that they
could bring in the needed immigrant workers to help them out with the work. It
may also help inspire more of the locals to get up and help out with the
various industries through their services and labor.

Paving
the way for the final policies

New policies will be definitely made
sometime in the future so as to be prepared for the exit from the EU. Amber
Rudd, the country’s Home Secretary, has put together the commission that has
been working on the data and the analysis of the numbers. Final plans with
regards to the future policies may be put together by autumn of this year so as
to help out have better plans and solutions to possible problems and issues. That
way, any grave situations may be avoided so as not to affect the country
greatly.

plans to move to the United Kingdom. Just hit the link and get exclusive

People may have been wanting to go to
Canada because of the things that they have heard about it about what they may
have seen on the news. They may also have wanted to be an immigrant there
because their current country’s economic conditions are not as good as they
want it to be and so greener pastures are what they may be wanting. And Canada
is a good answer to that.

For those potential immigrants that want to
be in Canada, there are things that they should know. Here are some of those
things that one must learn about the country before they actually step foot
there.

What’s
the weather?

One of the things that people cannot
control is the weather. If immigrants are willing to see how it is to live with
both the sun or and the snow, then Canada should be a wonderful place to be in.
See, this country has got both the sun and the snow. The country has got both
and people can experience just how it is to have these types of weather around.

Some may say that snow can be tough.
However, it is important to note that there are really good pieces of clothing
that can help individuals battle it out with the snow. There is no need to
worry though as the snowy season in Canada is not too harsh as it can be in
other portions of the world.

And when it comes to having some sun, bask
in the sun and find out how glorious the sun can feel on the skin during the
summer months. The country also has really good places for people to go to so
they can really enjoy the rays and enjoy summer.

What’s
the culture like?

Many immigrants who have made their way to
Canada have been more than happy to disclose that the country and its citizens
have been quite welcoming. This attitude towards immigrants has helped them
adapt better in the new place that they are in. For those immigrants who are
afraid that there may be racism and such in this country, they should not be
worried as the country has been known to be home to a ton of different cultures
and so being of a different race is not something new.

In fact, looking at the numbers, there are
really a lot of officials in the Parliament that have come from different
races. Going around the country’s cities and provinces, one can definitely find
a variety of cultures, languages and even religions. Being from a different
country is not going to be a big deal and in fact, immigrants can find
communities that can help them immerse well in Canada and also be able to find
a home away from home through the help of those who are of the same culture as
theirs.

For many years, many individuals have been
moving across the globe to make their way to New Zealand. This is not a secret
and that is why one can definitely see quite a huge number of immigrants in the
country.

The question though is what makes New Zealand
quite appealing to all of these immigrants? Right now, the numbers have
remained high and there seems to be quite a huge number still of interested
individuals who are working on all the requirements so they can become a part
of the country.

#1:
The food is from everywhere.

Although New Zealand may have local dishes
like Hangi, colonial goose, pork and puha, anzac biscuits, afghan biscuits,
hokey pokey ice cream, lolly cake, and pavlova, individuals who may still be
looking for new types of food can find that there. As a country where
immigrants are plenty, it is not surprising to find a variety of dishes from
all around the globe. There are Asian cuisine restaurants, European dishes, and
other gastronomic delights from everywhere else in the world. Now, if
immigrants are just keen on trying out the best of New Zealand’s food, they can
definitely feast on lamb, cheese, seafood, and wine as these are products of
the country and are being exported to other countries.

#2:
Plenty of housing options for everybody.

Because the country is quite huge and the
land area is definitely large, one can expect a lot of housing options for
everybody. Space is definitely not an issue. Of course, there are spots around
the country where housing can be difficult as most of the people flock there
and this happens mostly in the big cities. However, for those immigrants who
are looking for a less stressful life outside the city, then finding housing
options there are going to be huge.

#3:
A democratic country that one can enjoy.

There are countries that claim to be
democratic but really do not give its citizens that much freedom. However, this
is not the case in New Zealand. The whole country is free and people do not
have to go with just what most people are doing. Moving from one place to
another is definitely open for everybody and so immigrants can definitely see
just how locals are okay with moving and traveling around the country.

Respect for other people is highly regarded
and so race does not matter. There is also no such thing as classes that put
individuals in certain groups where they should “belong”. Immigrants who have
been in the country are more than happy to share that they have noticed that
dressing to look like they have come straight out from fashion magazines is not
a big thing. In fact, appearances are not given that much priority.

Immigrants need to find something to love
in a new country that they will be living in. This is because it would be quite
hard for them to easily go back to their home country in case something does
not work out right for them. In fact, they have to be able to adjust well to
the new society that they would be working around in.

In the United Kingdom, immigrants should
not have a hard time finding something to love there as there are plenty of
things for people to experience here. What are these things that the UK has
got? Well, read on and find out.

Reason
#1: Plenty of communities to be involved with.

For those individuals who feel like getting
involved in various communities is a really good thing, then the United Kingdom
is definitely a good place to be in. See, the country is home to quite a huge
number of communities that vary. So finding the right one should not be too
difficult. Also, for those immigrants who are having a hard time adjusting to
the new country that they are in, these communities should be able to help them
with that. And if finding something new to eat is what makes immigrants happy,
these communities can help them with that as well as they bring something
unique from their own country and share it with the community that they are
involved in.

The real reason for the huge number of
communities in the UK is because a huge portion of the population of the
country is made up of individuals who have come from other countries or
individuals who have a foreign background as children of immigrants themselves.

Reason
#2: The love for culture.

Culture is something that most people need.
And for some, it is something that they want to have. For those who want or
need culture, the United Kingdom is the best place to be an immigrant in. It
offers a variety of places to get the dose of culture that they want or need. There
are plenty of countries around the world but access to culture does not come as
easy as it does in Britain.

There are museums that one can visit and
among these museums in the country are some of the world’s best. There are
cinemas that should help immigrants find escape through videos and movies and
films. There are places to marvel at pieces of art and there are theaters to
visit as well as galleries to spend time in. The country is definitely a great
place to be in and immigrants are more than happy to share that they find the
place to be something worth living in.

In Canada, the government makes sure that
it does its best to make sure that there are enough workers to do the needed
jobs in various industries. It also makes sure that whatever needs the country
has and the solution cannot be found right there, it will do its best to make
sure that these needs are given a solution. This is how programs like the
Provincial Nominee Programs have been put together. The goal of these programs
would be to actually make sure that there are enough people working on what
needs to be done.

In recent data, it has been disclosed that
the first quarter for this year, 2018, have been quite eventful and busy
especially for the country’s Provincial Nominee Programs (which is also known
as PNPs). According to experts, this has happened as important changes to the
programs have definitely made the performance of these programs to be better
than it was before. It is not a secret that the Canadian government does its
best to make sure that any changes needed in the programs are done so that
these would work better and more efficiently. And it seems like those changes
are doing just what it should be doing.

2018
and the first quarter

According to data, during the first quarter
of this year, the Provincial Nominee Programs of the country had gone through
activity that was quite significant. It also showed significant innovation
which means that these programs are doing quite well. These are the programs
that make sure that any provinces in the country as well as other areas are
able to have nominations for people to get a permanent residency status. Those
that would be nominated would all depend on the needs for laborers in the
specific area. During the first three months of 2018, the PNPs in the areas of
Ontario as well as British Columbia were doing quite well and have kept the
government quite busy.

The Canadian government has Multi-Year
Immigration Levels which is a plan on immigration. With this, it has made the
target for immigrants through PNPs to 55,000 for the year. This is 4,000 more
than last year’s numbers and quota. Despite the increase in numbers, it has
been quite a busy first three months of 2018.

How
busy it was

The PNP for Ontario, which is known as the
Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (or the OINP), have definitely had its fair
share of activities for the first quarter of this year. It has been noted to be
among the busiest PNPs for the period. The most active one for the OINP was the
stream on Human Capital Priorities (which is also known as the HCP). It had
been able to have seven rounds of sending out invitations.

There are definitely a lot of people who
are doing their best so that they would become immigrants in New Zealand. And
these people should definitely learn more about the country and everything in
it before they actually start heading to the country. It is best to be armed
with knowledge especially in a new country that is far away from the people
they have grown with.

So what should immigrants know about New
Zealand? Well, here are some of the things that one should know about the
country.

The
people are friendly and quite positive.

Ask around and ask people who have been to
New Zealand. Most of them will say just how friendly the locals of the country
are. There are countries in the world where being friendly is not a priority.
However, for New Zealand, being friendly is definitely everyone’s game. This is
said to be because the Kiwis are more relaxed as people and have a really
positive attitude when it comes to their outlook in life.

Because the people are quite so friendly,
they are also known to be individuals who are down-to-earth. This means that
they are not so keen on having pretensions or having illusions about things and
about other people. They are also quite practical about things and are grounded
in terms of their ideals.

Love
a variety of cultures? New Zealand is the place to be.

New Zealand has become a nation because of
immigrants and immigration. Thus, one can definitely say that the country has
become a melting pot of cultures from all around the globe. Being an immigrant
in New Zealand may seem hard but it will be quite easier as many people there
are more than willing to help out as they have started out as immigrants
themselves.

At present, a majority of the population of
New Zealand has European origins. Of course, it is important not to leave
behind immigrants who have hailed from Asia as well as other countries in the
Pacific. Despite being colonized for a time, as compared to other nations which
have been colonized, New Zealanders are not quite racist and are happy to have
plenty of cultures around them.

Corruption
is definitely not a priority.

A lot of countries around the world make it
to the news for being corrupt. This is not the case in New Zealand as
corruption seems like something that is not a priority for those in the
government. In fact, the country has been ranked as second in a recent study
which is the Corruptions Perceptions Index. This means that there is definitely
less stress there as corruption is something that people do not have to worry
about.

With the upcoming move of the United Kingdom to exit the European Union, many nationals from European Union member
nations are making sure that they do not have to leave the UK. With the exit,
it means that there would not any more free movement between EU member nations.
This means that those EU nationals in Britain will have to leave the country
once the free movement ceases to exist. This is one of the reasons why many of
the EU nationals in Britain are now applying for citizenship in the country.

According to the most recent report on
immigration and citizenship in the country, there has been quite a spike
upwards when it comes to the number of EU nationals who have actually sent in
their applications to become citizens of the United Kingdom. The data has also
reflected that the biggest increase in applications have been from those
individuals whose native countries are Spain, Germany, and France.

The
numbers go up

Getting citizenship in the United Kingdom
means having to comply with all the requirements set by the UK government. That
is why all of those immigrants in the country are doing their very best to make
sure that they are able to get all the requirements in order so they would be
granted the citizenship that they want to have.

As for the most recent data, there has been
a significant increase in the number of citizens from Germany, France, and
Italy who have sent in their applications to become a citizen of Britain. The
news on the exit of the UK from the EU has been going around for the past three
years and since that piece of news has gone out, many of those EU nationals
have definitely worked on getting citizenships in the UK. This definitely shows
just how important the UK is to these people and that they would choose to live
here rather than go back to their own country.

There were almost 30,000 individuals from
EU member nations who have sent in their applications for citizenship. This
data has been collated from June of 2016 right up until 2017. With the exit
getting nearer and nearer each day, the number definitely is going to continue
to rise.

The
data speaks

Data from the UK government has shown that
those from Poland are on the top of the list of those who are doing their best
to get a citizenship status in the UK. These are the ones who have been topping
the list for the past three years.

The biggest spike in terms of the number of
applications actually comes from those from Germany. From January of 2016 right
up until June of 2016, there were only 797 applications sent in from this
group. However, a year after that, for the same period, the applications have
gone up to a high of 2,338.

Graduates of masters programs who are
interested in being immigrants in Canada have been very thankful for the
Masters Graduate Stream that is being offered by Ontario for some time.
However, the hopes of those who were planning on making it to the country
through this stream were short-lived when the province has decided to stop
running it.

However, recently, those who have all the
requirements to be qualified for the Masters Graduate Stream and are willing to
be immigrants in Canada are definitely going to be happy with the newest update
on this. See, the province of Ontario has decided to bring back the stream and
so they have reopened it just quite recently. This stream is surely one of the
most popular streams in the country and among students from around the globe. The
reopening happened on the 5th of April and they were opened to all those who
were interested and were international graduates. Applications were open to all
who were interested in it.

How
the reopening fared

In an announcement on the morning of the
5th of April, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (which is also known as the
OINP) has announced that it will be reopening the Masters Graduate Stream.
After the stream was opened, less than an hour later, the OINP had to close it
again. This was not because it was not doing well but because the stream had
received quite a huge amount of applications and that number had definitely hit
the quota. That is why the stream had closed quite so quickly. This just goes
to show just how many individuals from around the world want to really become
an immigrant in the country.

The OINP offers two programs for
immigration under the International Student Category and the Masters Graduate
Stream is one of the two. As for the other one, it is for those individuals who
are graduates of PhD and these individuals should have successfully completed
any degree from an eligible academic institution in the province of Ontario.

A
bit of the Masters Graduate Stream

The Masters Graduate Stream is really quite
popular because it does not require applicants to have a job offer. Other types
of streams do need applicants to have a job offer from a company in Canada.
This is not the case of the Masters Graduate Stream. According to the people
behind the stream, this stream has been put together so that international
graduates who have finished their masters studies in Ontario need not move out
or away. This means that those graduates of masters programs will be able to
help out the province with their chosen field of expertise since they have been
given a good residency status to keep staying where they are.

The process of being an immigrant is not
something as easy as going to the grocery store and purchasing what is needed.
In fact, it can be described as a process where one’s patience can be tested.
There are requirements that an interested individual must be able to fulfill
and these should be in accordance to the rules and policies that the country
has set. So for those who have been wanting to be immigrants in New Zealand,
these people would have to make sure that they are able to fulfill all the
needed requirements to be granted the chance to be an immigrant in this
country.

Being an immigrant is just the tip of the
iceberg. Many of the immigrants want to become permanent residents of the
country as it offers quite a relaxed and wonderful lifestyle that is beneficial
overall for people. With that, immigrants have to go through another process to
be able to get the residency status that they want. And recently, thirteen new
citizens have been granted the status that they have been working hard for.

Welcoming
13 new citizens

The newest citizens of New Zealand had
their own stories to tell regarding how they were able to get to their goals.
For one of them, the process was quite eventful and so the reward is definitely
worth it. The latest citizenship ceremony had happened last 29th of March in
Hawera in New Zealand.

For Julia Collier, the whole journey was
definitely something that she could tell her grandchildren about. Collier was
from Mexico originally and she definitely is happy that she has now gotten the
status that she has long wanted and worked for. It took her eight years to be
able to get to her goal but it was all definitely worth it. For her, New Zealand is not just a home for her. As an immigrant, she has already found a
home in New Zealand and has loved what it has got to offer. Now that she is
officially a citizen of this place, she is very proud to say that New Zealand
is not just a home for her but it is also her country.

The
citizenship ceremony

For those who have worked long and hard to
become citizens of New Zealand, the citizenship ceremony definitely puts
everything they have worked hard for official. Most of those who attend such
include the family and friends of the new citizens. It also includes councilors
of the districts as well as board members of communities. These people are the
support groups who do their best to make sure that the welcome to the newest
citizens of the country would be something that they would remember.

The world has been talking about the
upcoming plans of the United Kingdom to actually go through with its exit from
the European Union. This is a big deal and it will definitely have great
effects to the country. According to a new report, one of the top changes that
could happen to Britain if this move goes through is that there would be a
shrinkage in population especially in some parts of the country once free
movement of EU member nation immigrants come to a halt.

According to a new study that was done,
some parts of the United Kingdom would be experiencing shrinkage in terms of
population. This should happen once the net immigration also slows down because
of the end of the free movement between European Union member nations. This is
as per the very first inquiry done on an official basis with regards to what
the country would need in terms of immigration and immigrants. The labor market
in the country would definitely be affected by this greatly as there would be a
lot less immigrants in the country.

The
newest report and its findings

The report was done by the Migration
Advisory Committee of the country and it was published just a week ago. The
findings had disclosed that a huge portion of employers in the country have
been hiring workers straight from the European Economic Area (which is also
known as the EEA) along with three other countries – Liechtenstein, Iceland,
and Norway. As per the employers, they are hiring from these places because
locals there are qualified to do the work and are also a lot more motivated as
compared to workers in Britain.

Another point that the committee has been
able to see is that the wages of these immigrant workers may also be a big
factor in why UK employers are choosing to get employees from these countries
in Europe as compared to hiring locals. These immigrant workers can be paid a
lot less as compared to paying local Britons. This would mean that they are
able to get more savings for their business. Of course, not many business
owners would claim that such is true.

Meet
the MAC

MAC is the other term for the Migration
Advisory Committee and it was Amber Rudd who actually put MAC into action. Rudd
is the home secretary of the country. And with Rudd’s authorization, the MAC
set out just last July to actually go ahead and do an investigation on what the
effects would be to the labor market of the country once it pushes through with
leaving the EU. The committee also had to work on checking into what the
country would need in terms of immigration so that its economy would remain
strong.
